The game's afoot...again!
I can’t believe how time has passed… and here we are about to remount last year’s production of “Sherlock’s Secret Life”…. shut down because of Covid. I say last year’s but really this will be a different show with different energy thanks to a few new players.
Four of our cast have had to move on because of their schedules. We’ll miss them! They were part of our original Holmesian family. But we welcome our new cast mates and judging from our recent rehearsals this is going to be brilliant… “one for the books” as they say!
Speaking of books we all know that’s where Holmes and Watson started. Arthur Conan Doyle wrote his first Sherlock story “A Study in Scarlet” in 1887. Doyle went on to write a total of 56 stories and 4 novels. But never has this particular tale been told before now, thanks to playwright Ed Lange.
Don’t miss your chance to experience this new take on the most famous detective in the world. Filled with mystery, intrigue, humor, romance and a “big reveal” that will blow you away. As will our sets and costumes: inspired by the Victorian and enhanced by Steampunk.
Tickets are on sale now! We hope to see you in September…
From our Founder & Artistic Director, Bonnie Grice
